- This is a something I do to protect me from myself with my HP48.
-
- I have set an alarm that does an automatic backup. If I goof and
- delete/overwrite something that took hours to produce I can always
- go to the backup to restore.
-
- To backup:
- setup an alarm, some infrequent time like 3am, with a repeat of one day
- for the EXEC use:
- << :0: BACKUP DUP PURGE ARCHIVE OFF >>
- I guess I had created the backup the first time manually ( otherwise the
- DUP PURGE would have caused an error )
-
- To restore:
- :0: { BACKUP directory subdir ... subdir objectname } RCL
